Executive Summary

Introduction The program review process at St. Petersburg College (SPC) is a collaborative effort designed to continuously measure and improve the quality of educational services provided to the community.

Program Description Getting a nursing degree from SPC means students have made a solid career choice. With 2.6 million jobs, registered nurses constitute the largest health care occupation in the United States. With many nurses retiring and an aging population, Florida could face a critical nursing shortage in the coming years. Other features of the program include preparation for the national exam to become a Registered Nurse, a transitional program for paramedics, day and evening schedules, and transfer to SPC's B.S. degree in Nursing.

Degree Offered An Associate in Science Degree in Nursing is offered at SPC.

Program Performance Actual Course Enrollment decreased in 2015 (2,390) from the previous year (2,560). Unduplicated Headcount decreased in 2015 (724) from the previous year (787). SSH Enrollment decreased in 2015 (12,490) from the previous year (13,197). Comparisons between the Fall semesters indicated that the Percent Full Metric increased in Fall 2016 (94.9%) from Fall 2015 (93.9%). The course success rate decreased in 2015 (92.2%) from the previous year (94.2%). Grade Distribution indicated that almost all of the students (92%) received an `A', `B' or `C' during 2015. An Industry Certification Attainment for the Nursing ? AS program revealed that the majority of students passed the National Licensure Exam between 2011-12 and 2014-15 (80.8%, 85.2%, 84.2%, and 86.6%, respectively). Internship Enrollment increased in Fall 2016 for NUR 1211C (68), NUR 2731C (171), and NUR 2811C (167) from the previous Fall (65, 148, and 127, respectively). Internship Enrollment decreased in Fall 2016 for NUR 1001C (21), NUR 1021C (125), NUR 2462C (158), and NUR 2511 (154) from the previous Fall (32, 127, 173, and 171, respectively). Program Plans Taken by Plan revealed that more than one-third of students who were enrolled in the program during fall 2014, and had not graduated, remained in the program by fall 2015. By fall 2016, less than five percent of the original (fall 2014) NURSE-AS students remained in the program. This measure does not display the number of students who graduated during any given term. The number of program graduates in the NURSE - AS program decreased in 2015 (257) from the previous year (327). Fulltime Faculty taught 76.5% of the ECHs in 2015-16 as compared to 74.2% in 2014-15. Adjunct Faculty taught 0.0% of the ECHs in 2015-16 and 2014-15.
